I tell folks that point about Calvinism and predestination being major underpinnings of our national character as well. Agree completely.
我告诉别人达尔文主义和预言论是我们国家精神的主要支柱。完全同意。
Somehow in the 20th Century, perhaps because of the pragmatic revivalism that resulted from the second great awakening, Calvinism became disassociated with evangelism.
